In this study, the fibers of invasive species Agave americana L. and Ricinus communis L. were successfully used for the first time as new sources to produce cytocompatible and highly crystalline cellulose nanofibers. Cellulose nanofibers were obtained by two methods, based on either alkaline or acid hydrolysis. The morphology, chemical composition, and crystallinity of the obtained materials were characterized by scanning electron microscopy(SEM) together with energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy(EDX), dynamic light scattering(DLS), X-ray diffraction(XRD), and Fourier transform infrared(FTIR)spectroscopy. The crystallinity indexes(CIs) of the cellulose nanofibers extracted from A. americana and R. communis were very high(94.1% and 92.7%, respectively). Biological studies evaluating the cytotoxic effects of the prepared cellulose nanofibers on human embryonic kidney 293 T(HEK293 T) cells were also performed. The nanofibers obtained using the two different extraction methods were all shown to be cytocompatible in the concentration range assayed(i.e., 0-500 μg/mL). Our results showed that the nanocellulose extracted from A. americana and R. communis fibers has high potential as a new renewable green source of highly crystalline cellulose-based cytocompatible nanomaterials for biomedical applications.  相似文献

Protective Role of <Emphasis Type="SmallCaps">l</Emphasis>-Arginine Against Free-Radical Mediated Oxidative Damage in Patients with Unstable Angina     

Tripathi P  Chandra M  Misra MK 《Indian journal of clinical biochemistry : IJCB》2010,25(3):302-306

Unstable angina is a critical condition of heart resulting from narrowing of vessels supplying blood to heart. Ischemia of the myocardium leads to oxidative stress and severe tissue damage. The objective of the present study was to determine the effect of l-arginine administration on the oxidant–antioxidant homeostasis which otherwise gets imbalanced in patients with cardiovascular diseases. The results obtained, show improvement in the oxidant–antioxidant levels of the subjects upon incorporation of l-arginine. Our findings suggest that supplementation of l-arginine along with regular anti-anginal therapy may be beneficial to the patients of unstable angina.  相似文献   

Dietary restriction (DR) and its advantages     

M. N. Astagimath  Shrinivas B. Rao 《Indian journal of clinical biochemistry : IJCB》2004,19(1):1-5

Dietary restriction (DR) also called dietary control or calorie restriction is reported to have many advantages with regard to human health. It leads to suppression of obesity, mitigates free radicals and increases available antioxidants which are accounted for extending the life span of individuals. DR is also reported to induce synthesis of heat shock proteins in animals as a control mechanism against stress. Further, it is known to play a significant role in decreasing toxicity and lethality due to a variety of toxic chemicals and drugs by stimulating tissue repair damaged by the toxicants leading to restoration of intact organ and its functions. Moreover, extensive work done on animals indicate DR has an important role in suppressing certain types of cancer. In this review an effort is made to highlight the various advantages of DR from the point of human health perspective.  相似文献

生境片断化对遗传多样性的影响   总被引：3，自引：0，他引：3  

文陇英 《科学．经济．社会》2006,24(1):70-72

由于人类活动造成的生境破碎,对生态系统的影响很大,使片断状生境中的生物因子和非生物因子都发生了一系列变化,生境片断化将物种种群分割为若干个小种群,影响物种的迁入和迁出,基因的流动受阻,遗传变异丧失,加之小种群易于灭绝,结果使种群遗传多样性减少,从而加速物种灭绝的进程。  相似文献

目的：探索不同保藏温度、时间及菌种代次对蛹虫草菌种质量的影响。方法：以4℃、10℃、20℃等不同保藏温度,以30 d、60 d、90 d、180 d及360 d等不同保藏时间,以F1、F2、F3、F4等不同代次母种,以F0为对照组,对比菌种质量情况。结果：菌种质量由高到低依次为：10℃保藏1个月、4℃保藏1个月、20℃保藏1个月、4℃保藏2个月、4℃保藏3个月、10℃保藏2个月,其他基本无菌种价值;F1〉F2〉F3,F4基本无菌种价值。结论：4℃保藏1～2个月为佳,10℃保藏1个月为佳,菌种传代以3代以内为佳。  相似文献   

总铝浓度对聚合氯化铝中Al形态分布的影响     

吕建晓  崔英 《河南科技学院学报》2015,(1)

通过微量加碱法制备了具有不同总铝浓度、相同碱化度的聚合氯化铝（PAC）溶液.然后通过Al-Ferron逐时络合比色法以及废水混凝实验,分析了不同条件下制备的PAC样品中各种铝形态的含量及混凝效果.结果表明：高的总铝浓度有利于聚合度较高的铝形态的形成,但过高会导致不溶性氢氧化铝沉淀的含量过高,从而影响其混凝效果.常温条件下,碱化度为2.5时,总铝浓度为0.5 mol/L条件下制备的的PAC溶液混凝效果最好.  相似文献
